Hush Now

I won't bury you in the basement
 As I've been known to do
 I won't bludgeon your memory
 Leave you crying out for truth
 There's a song we sing together
 The song of me and you
 And I was hoping that we could fix it
 At least just fiddle around with the tune
 But you go right, I go left
 You go forward, I go back
 And we're dancing this waltz alone
 You go up, I go down, lost our grip
 And now we've found ourselves
 Dancing this waltz alone
 Hush now, don't cry
 It's just a lullaby
 I won't leave you
 Til you close your eyes
 Hush now don't cry
 It's just a lullaby
 I'll tell you sweet lies
 I won't leave your side
 We were peaceful when we were sleeping
 Or after we had a fight
 We were civil when people were watching
 We were worst when we were right
 You'd go in, I'd go out
 We'd forget what it's about
 And we'd start dancing this waltz alone
 You would smile and I'd frown
 You gave it up, now who's the clown
 That is dancing this waltz alone
 Hush now, don't cry
 It's just a lullaby
 I won't leave you
 Til you close your eyes
 Hush now don't cry
 It's just a lullaby
 I'll tell you sweet lies
 I won't leave your side
